Tuesday

Days-of-the-Week Series

A wallflower day
Watching but not in the dance
Undefined quiet
Beginning rush behind you
Rollicking downhill ahead

A day without definition
is a day set free
sitting pretty without the burden of pigeonholes
a middle child not seeking
not craving, neither approval
nor attention

Lean back, take a look at the sun
today you can breathe and just be

This particular Tuesday for us stands out, unlike most of them: we’ve had ice, so school was cancelled. It’s like Saturday on a Tuesday. Thanks for reading!
